Intrigued By Him

Chapter 32

Chapter 32

"Hello Mummy."

"Where have you been Kavya? Why didn't you call in the morning? I was so worried." Mummy scolded in a bit louder voice.

"I am sorry Mummy. I woke up late and was running late for college."

"Nevermind. Tell me how are you?"

"I am good Mummy and how is everyone there?"

"Everyone is fine. You are so far away from us that even when you miss a single phone call we all get so worried." She said in mellowed voice. I know her concerns very well and that's why I never trouble her much.

"I know...I am sorry."

"Don't be sorry beta...I know you are busy there and I just overreacted." She said and I felt bad about hiding things from her.

"Mummy, I have to tell you a thing." I told her.

"Yes, what is it?" She asked.

"Actually..." I looked for the right words to comprehend my sentence. "Umm...my friend kind of stayed over for a night yesterday."

"Okay...so? It's a good thing you are making friends there."

"Umm yes. It is." I said biting my tongue hard unable to drop the major detail that the friend which stayed over was first of all not a friend and second was a boy.

"That explains why you woke up late. Should have told me earlier. You both must have chatted all night and must have definitely slept late." Her voice was filled with love and affection and I don't want her to get mad at me right now. Moreover, it was just like a one-time thing. I don't think there is any need to tell her now everything.

Somethings should be kept a secret!

We talked more after which I decided to sleep but strangely, I couldn't sleep. My mind kept wandering back to Ashton.

Maybe he would come tonight as well?

No, he won't.

Somehow I managed to sleep at the very late hours and I ended up being late for my college again. I wasn't that late, it was just other people were a little earlier than I was.

I didn't miss even a minute of my class.

I spent the day with Emily and Jessica but Ashton had been strangely ignoring me. He wasn't even passing me his smirk which was kind of bothering me. He always passed those nasty smirks to piss me off and now he is completely off.

I wondered what I did wrong because as far as I remember we barely talked after that night and there was a very slim possibility of me doing anything wrong. Even for the one break which I spent with them, the moment I sat on the table, he left with Olivia.

I resumed my day hoping that if Ashton is willing to look at my direction once, I'll talk things out with him but that never happened. I came back to my dorms and since it was Friday, I decided to take rest as much as I could but that stupid idiot kept lingering in my head AGAIN. I was so infuriated with him that his stupid face wasn't leaving my head.

He could be here today?

Could he?

He is Ashton White who doesn't have a brain and can do anything.

But if today he comes over, I'll throw him out. First, he spoiled my sleep then he spoiled my name. I fell asleep thinking of all the possible way to throw him out of my room and a loud banging on my doors woke me up. I immediately rushed towards the door and I flung it open to see no one.
